Today is Tuesday the 24 December, Christmas Eve.
Salt of the Sound sing, ‘O Holy Night’. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ tomorrow, take a moment to reflect on the last few weeks… Has it been a rushed time for you? Maybe an unexpected time of peace; a time of having grown closer to the Lord… whatever you have experienced, bring it all before God in prayer now.
Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke.
Christmas Eve; and we hear Zechariah reflecting on what the birth of the child Jesus will mean for his world. What, in all honesty, does his birth mean to your world? And to the world around you today?
One meaning is that we might “serve him without fear”. There is still much in our world to be afraid of: sickness, loneliness, terrorism, meaninglessness – the list goes on. What particular fears would you ask the coming Saviour to release you from?
Christ’s birth is presented as the fulfilment by God of a promise made long ago. Where do you experience, in your own life, God’s faithfulness to his promises?
Listen again now, notice the description of the kind of person the baby whose birth we celebrate tomorrow will grow up to be.
What do you want to say to a man, to a God, like this?
